If you think you know everything about the original Larry Hama - Marvel run of G.I. Joe ARAH, I will take the Pepsi challenge! You will learn more then just a few new details after reading Mark Bellomo's introductions to each book.

I have seen many interviews with Larry Hama where he often down plays his ownership of G.I. Joe and is very modest about his work on the project. Mark gives us a very different angle without ever asking Larry a direct question, but shows off his creating atmosphere, and just how much work went into the each character in the G.I. Joe - Cobra Universe. You just can't ask for a better way to eventually own a complete run of G.I. Joe ARAH.

I didn't know they were going to include the 25th Comic pack comics. Here they include 21 1/2. But it's an awesome touch. Also the reprinted vehicle blueprints in the back. I've got all the Classic tpb's. But I'm a sucker for hardbacks and so far these haven't disappointed. I just hope nothing happens and they don't get the series finished.
